“I’ve been in various marketing roles for 20 years and fully recognise that having great suppliers is vital for success. I was recommended to use Pro-Active and as I had not commissioned a full mailing activity (including colour digital print) for a while, was nervous about using a company I’d not worked

with before. I need not have worried: excellent project management from start to finish; a real “can-do” attitude where nothing is a problem; and everything was turned around to plan - quickly, efficiently and

cost-effectively. I was so impressed with the service I received – I sent my Pro-Active Account Manager a bunch of flowers and would recommend them to anyone who needs these services in the future.

Pro-Active are experts in UK & International address cleansing & filtration which enables you to reduce wastage, enhance personalisation and increase ROI. We are so confident in our ability to reduce your costs by correct data presentation we offer a free data audit. Simply contact Pro-Active, submit a sample mailing file and we’ll advise of how many records are potentially undeliverable or incorrectly formatted.

“I have used Personalised URLs for our B2B email campaigns. The Pro-Active team were very helpful and effective throughout the process. On my first PURL campaign, I have generated lots of enquiries, plus ROI was TRIPLED compared to normal email campaigns. I strongly recommend Pro-Active’s Personalised URLs service for those who are looking for immediate return for their marketing activity.Sema Tezel, Marketing Manager, Digital and Marketing Services at World Trade Group

“Having used Purls in conjunction with personalised colour digital print, we have seen our response rates from traditional DM increase dramatically. The real time alerts from Purl activation and online reporting functionality are incredibly useful for tracking the effectiveness of direct mail. The integration of Purls into our traditional marketing channels have way exceeded our expectations and as such, will be deployed in all future marketing activity.
